Alexandre is an outstanding student. During the time we studied together in Davis, California, I could realize that he is very disciplined, organized and is always looking for opportunities to learn and share knowledged with his colleagues. I should also mention his extra class behavior – he was perceived as a leader, organizing activities and always being available to help and cooperate with his classmates.
